Balloon Angioplasty for Recoarctation in Infants with Isolated Aortic Coarctation and Coarctation Associated with Other Congenital Heart Diseases.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFor infants who underwent surgical coarctation repair and required balloon angioplasty for recoarctation within the first year of life, data are limited-especially regarding safety, mid-term efficacy, and reintervention risk factors.
methodsThis retrospective study included the data of 33 infants who underwent surgical correction of CoA within their first three months of life and whose first cardiac catheterization for recoarctation-defined by a systolic echocardiographic gradient of ≥20 mmHg-was performed within the first year of life.
resultsThe median age at repair was 21 days, and that at angioplasty was 77 days. The peak systolic gradient decreased from 40.0 to 21.0 mmHg (
conclusionsEarly balloon angioplasty for postoperative recoarctation is safe, effective, and repeatable, with a high procedural success rate and sustained hemodynamic improvements. Reinterventions were more common in patients with additional CHD, though outcomes remained favorable.
